1. Does this mean I cannot apply online for my ILR until 12 July? Importantly, is this day you apply online your application date (or is it your appointment date)?
2. If this is the case, is it possible to make the PEO appointment before this date, without applying yet--it is not clear whether this can be done (I've started the process on the UK GOV site, but it appears I have to pay for the whole application/PEO appointment together---not just pay for the appointment).
I'm asking because I'm hoping to find an appointment as close to 12 July as possible. If I apply on 12 July, the appointments for that day (or close to it) would unlikely be available as they are released 45 days prior to the date. I am hoping to be able to make my appointment first, then apply on 12 July online.
I have tried to search for this specific topic--apologies if this has been answered somewhere on this form.
Thank you so much!
